Trees planted
Located in the heart of Centre Val de Loire, this afforestation project spans 10.2 hectares in the municipality of Ouzouer-sur-Trézée. Certified with the Low-Carbon Label, it will sequester 2,743 tons of CO₂ over its lifetime. With 14,279 trees from 8 different species, this project actively promotes biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
Species diversity strengthens forest resilience against diseases and climate change.

Did you know?
Son bois, extrêmement dense et à grain très fin, était le matériau de choix pour les planches de gravure en taille de bois.

Sorbus torminalis · Rosaceae
Arbre rare atteignant 25 m, indicateur de sols riches. Son bois très dense est l'un des plus chers d'Europe, utilisé en marqueterie.
Did you know?
Son bois peut atteindre des prix supérieurs à 10 000 € le m³ sur pied, ce qui en fait l'un des bois feuillus les plus précieux d'Europe.
Beyond carbon sequestration, each project generates measurable positive impacts on the environment and local communities. Here is the detailed assessment of this project.
This project sequesters 268.9 tCO₂/ha over its lifetime. Carbon is captured in biomass (trunks, branches, roots) and soils. This is the project's primary impact: contributing to climate change mitigation by removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
With 8 different species (strong diversity), this project creates a rich habitat for wildlife. The ecological corridors formed allow species to circulate, promoting pollination and natural biological pest control.
Over 10.2 ha, the vegetation cover acts as a natural filter. Roots promote water infiltration into soils, reduce runoff and erosion, and enable groundwater recharge. Downstream water quality is directly improved.
With 1400 trees/ha, the root system structures the soil in depth. Litter (dead leaves, twigs) enriches organic matter, feeds soil microorganisms and increases water retention capacity. A living, fertile soil is the foundation of a resilient ecosystem.
This project of 10.2 ha in Ouzouer-sur-Trézée supports the local economy: direct jobs (planting, maintenance, monitoring), enhancement of the territory and natural heritage. It strengthens the link between rural communities and their environment, contributing to the ecological transition.
The 17 SDGs are a global framework defined by the United Nations to build a sustainable future by 2030. This project directly contributes to 6 of them. Here's why.
Good Health and Well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all
Why this project: This project contributes to this goal through its carbon sequestration actions and strengthening of local ecosystems.
Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water
Why this project: The vegetation cover on 10.2 ha naturally filters runoff water and promotes groundwater recharge. By reducing erosion and nutrient leaching, this project improves water quality available for local uses.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth
Why this project: This project contributes to this goal through its carbon sequestration actions and strengthening of local ecosystems.
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: The sustainable forest management of this project of 10.2 ha ensures responsible wood production: planted trees will eventually provide timber or energy wood, replacing high carbon footprint materials.
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Why this project: This is the primary impact: this project sequesters 2,743 tons of CO2 over its lifetime, certified by the Low-Carbon Label. Every ton removed from the atmosphere directly contributes to fighting climate change.
Life on Land
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems
Why this project: This project of 10.2 ha in Ouzouer-sur-Trézée plants 8 different species, recreating a complete forest ecosystem: wildlife habitat, ecological corridors, and soil biodiversity enrichment through mycorrhizal fungi.

Planting a forest on land that has not been wooded for at least 10 years. The project stores carbon in biomass (trunks, branches, roots), soils and durable wood products.
The Low-Carbon Label is an official certification framework from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. It guarantees that emission reductions are real, measurable, verifiable and additional (they would not have occurred without the project). Each project is audited by an independent body before labelling, then monitored throughout its duration.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference scenario (without project) and the project scenario.
2. The difference between the two scenarios gives the net emission reductions, expressed in tons of CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field and validates the calculations.
4. The ministry issues the Low-Carbon Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored for 30 years with periodic verifications.
